But that's only if you care about scouting... and eating dinner.

For all the rest of you, have fun!

There is food in the aquarium... "Captive audience" prices, as I recall, but decent.

Has anyone else had trouble trying to order tickets online? We've tried 2 different people and 2 different credit cards, and when we hit submit order, it immediately comes back "Decline - Payment hasn't been processed. Check your order contents before resubmitting". Doesn't appear to be any mistakes in the contents or billing info that I can see.

I called them - and first it took them 10min to find someone who knew what I was talking about, and then their IT verified the site was working. She also said to contact my credit card company - even though I highly doubt their system is checking authorization or limit on the card in the 1 second it takes to error out.
So all she could say was to refresh and try again (which i've done 5+ times). She also stressed again the only way to get this discount was online. Just my opinion, but it's kinda saddening that there is no other way to do this, esp when there are issues.

Just wondering if anyone else has this issue. I noticed others said they ordered their tix already (successfully) so perhaps we're missing something. Ideas?
Thanks,

Apparently after my rant above about missing out on scouting, and Friday being a key night for that, my team went ahead and got us tickets after all. HA!
So, I'll see some of you there I guess. w00t! Finally gonna be able to make it to the aquarium after going to Atlanta for what will be my 4th time this year.
<--- is excited!

(Now to find a way to The World Of Coke in what little spare time I have as well...) lol


To those who have gone to the Aquarium before, what kind of food do they have (for dinner) there??

Amy,

I just ordered my ticket without any problems, so their system is working. Sorry I can't give you any more information than that.

I have gone every year since it opened ... the GA Aquarium is just awesome! If you and your team has the time, this is well worth it. Plus, at less than half the price, it just can't go wrong!

Enjoy

A portion of our team went last year to the aquarium, and it IS fanastic- I reccomend that even if you don't go Friday, that you try to get down there at one point or another. It's a great experience. <3

Thanks,

John Walker at the GA Aquarium was very helpful. When I had trouble getting our order confirmation (even after a phone call to customer service), John responded quickly to my email & resolved all our issues. Here's his info:
